Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 3053402, member: 204"] I don't think that fans truly appreciate how violent and how fast the game actually is. They see the contact - they see the tackling and the blocking, but they don't really know what it all entails. I remember a few years ago, my girlfriend and I were given the chance to stand on the sidelines - right next to the field - during a game at the Dome. At one point, a mass of players ran at full speed in our direction. We came [B]that close [/B]to being hit. I was amazed at how fast and how big these players are - and how hard they hit. I find it more and more difficult to watch the hits - I don't get off on it the way I did in the past. [/QUOTE]
